<Question>
Hello!
<Question>
I have the ability to obtain a Nokia N900 where I am, if I order only the board, how difficult is it to replace the original board? Is there any soldering that needs to be done? Can it be done by someone with no tools outside a screwdriver and no experience?
<DocScrutinizer05>
yes, that's the plan
<Question>
So no soldering involved?
<DocScrutinizer05>
definitely not :-)
<Question>
But what about the camera connector and the speaker and the microphone how would you hook that all up to the new board?
<DocScrutinizer05>
unless you want to hack some of the advanced features meant for hardware hackers
<Question>
Is it just a cable that goes into a port?
<DocScrutinizer05>
speakers have spring loaded contacts, camera is premounted and connected with a flat flex cable with a B2B connector. Same with the complete display part of N900 that contains the mic and earpiece
<DocScrutinizer05>
please get (google) "RX51 L1_2 service manual" - for now
<DocScrutinizer05>
of course we willprovide comprehensive instructions (prolly including a video) on how to do the PCB swap
<Question>
OK, so basically what you're saying is that it's just going to be a matter of using your fingers, a screwdriver and an instructional video, correct DocScrutinizer05?
<DocScrutinizer05>
most critical operation: picture 7) in L1_2
<DocScrutinizer05>
yes, correct
<DocScrutinizer05>
of course you don't need a SS-93, any credit card or similar "tool" will do
<DocScrutinizer05>
obviously at picture 14) you stop, not needed
<Question>
Would you say it's pretty much impossible to mess it up?
<DocScrutinizer05>
well, sorry. Pic 17)
<DocScrutinizer05>
you can mess things up, when you're not careful
<DocScrutinizer05>
anywy if you don't feel comfortable with it, bring the device, the NeoN board and the instructions to a phone repair shop, they should be happy to accomplish the swap for you, won't take them longer than 20 minutes
<Question>
OK, thanks.
<Question>
Is it OK to place order now?
<DocScrutinizer05>
yw :)
<DocScrutinizer05>
sure
<Question>
And then wait until March?
<DocScrutinizer05>
probably
<DocScrutinizer05>
anyway please note those are down payment preorders. We clearly state it multiple times on the shop site.
<DocScrutinizer05>
final orders (with binding decision on modem variant) will be due at the time we start production, and should come in during max 4 weeks then

Hello!
<nonrad>
I'm having trouble paying for my order.
<nonrad>
I'm using PayPal.
<nonrad>
Anyone here?
<DocScrutinizer05>
sure
<DocScrutinizer05>
what kind of trouble?
<nonrad>
Hey, DocScrutinizer05!
<nonrad>
Well I just get a payment error.
<nonrad>
Perhaps you can take a look at the order reference?
<DocScrutinizer05>
paypal is outside our control
<nonrad>
Yeah but I'm sure they gave an error response.
<DocScrutinizer05>
I hope they didn't again mess up their service for neo900
<nonrad>
I saw some code it said "STATE FIELD EMPTY"
<DocScrutinizer05>
hmm
nonrad_ has joined #neo900
<nonrad_>
Yeah, you guys in fact don't have a "State" field in your address form.
<nonrad_>
So PayPal is throwing an error.
nonrad has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds]
<DocScrutinizer05>
nonrad_: we never had, and so far we had no errors from PP
<DocScrutinizer05>
we however actually see a "Payment error" in shop backend for an order 18 minutes ago
<nonrad_>
Should I just place a new order?
<DocScrutinizer05>
which is sort of worrying since nothing got changed on either PP account nor our shop and its PP integration
<DocScrutinizer05>
please wait a moment, I'll try to find out what "Payment Error" actually _means_ in that shop, regarding the status of this order
<DocScrutinizer05>
hmm, China?
<nonrad_>
Yes.
<DocScrutinizer05>
dunno if PP has particular problems with China originated payments
<DocScrutinizer05>
shouldn't
<nonrad_>
No, I've used it many times before.
<nonrad_>
Never encountered problems unless merchant himself restricted China.
<DocScrutinizer05>
we for sure didn't restrict anything
<DocScrutinizer05>
maybe a PP hiccup?
<DocScrutinizer05>
they currently 'divorce' from ebay, and that's a lot of problems for their IT infra
<nonrad_>
So should I just place order again?
<nonrad_>
Can you cancel this one?
<DocScrutinizer05>
you're not in a hurry, a NeoN board will be available next week as well :-) maybe I may cancel your order and you try again in 2 days? If I may ask you for that favor
<DocScrutinizer05>
ok?
<nonrad_>
Let me try one more time today and if that doesn't work we'll wait 2 days, OK?
<DocScrutinizer05>
yes, I canbcle your order now and you may try again now, then we'll see if same problem again
<DocScrutinizer05>
ok, canceled
<DocScrutinizer05>
canceling orders is easy ;-)
<DocScrutinizer05>
please retry
<nonrad_>

<DocScrutinizer05>
straaaange
<DocScrutinizer05>
could you try with another shipping address in your shop account? it's not needed at all right now since we ship next year the earliest, and addr will have to be provided no earlier than final order
<nonrad_>
"Another shipping address"?
<nonrad_>
As in type in random stuff?
<DocScrutinizer05>
yeah
<DocScrutinizer05>
we have several customers who didn't proivide any addr iirc
<DocScrutinizer05>
hmm no, it's obviously a mandatory field. However it's irrelevant for now, so any arbitrary addr will do
<DocScrutinizer05>
aah I see chinese addr anyway :-D
<nonrad_>
Worked this time.
<nonrad_>
Funds deducted
<DocScrutinizer05>
what did you do? change addr?
<nonrad_>
Yeah I choose russia.
<nonrad_>
Do you see the chinese characters in my order additional details?
<DocScrutinizer05>
I need to check prestashop addr templates, there's an individual template for each country, maybe the 'china' one is lacking a "state" field?
<DocScrutinizer05>
yes
<DocScrutinizer05>
:-)
<nonrad_>
OK, great.
<nonrad_>
Yeah, I didn't see any "State" field for China.
<nonrad_>
China does have provinces, so that field should be there.
<DocScrutinizer05>
ok, so a bug in prestashop. Many thanks for spotting it and letting us know, and sorry for the inconvenience
